Consolidates below 1.1550 ahead of Fed, ECB decisions

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on this week’s goodish recovery move from the 1.1415-1.1410 area, or its lowest level since August 2025, and oscillates in a narrow band during the Asian session on Wednesday. Spot prices currently trade just below mid-1.1500s, nearly unchanged for the day, as traders opt to wait for the key central bank event risks before placing fresh directional bets.

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) is scheduled to announce its decision at the end of a two-day meeting later today, which will be followed by the European Central Bank (ECB) policy update on Thursday. Investors will look for cues about the interest rate path going forward amid concerns that a war-driven surge in energy prices would negative impact on economic growth and revive inflationary pressures.

The EUR/USD pair holds below the 200-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) around 1.1547, capping recovery attempts. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 62 stays in positive territory but below overbought conditions, indicating moderate upside momentum without strong follow-through. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line has slipped marginally below the signal line near the zero mark, reinforcing a loss of bullish impulse and aligning with the rejection from the longer-term average.

Immediate resistance emerges at the 50.0% retracement level at 1.1539, measured from the 1.1666 high to the 1.1413 low, with a clear break higher needed to expose the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.1569 and then the 100-period SMA zone near 1.1580.

On the downside, initial support stands at the 38.2% Fibo. retracement level at 1.1509, ahead of the 23.6% level at 1.1473, where a confluence with prior intraday lows would strengthen the floor. A decisive drop below 1.1473 would open the way toward the 1.1413 swing low, while sustained trading above 1.1569 would neutralize the current bearish tone and shift focus back to the 1.1612–1.1666 resistance band.

NZD/USD is likely to trade with a downward bias – UOB Group

NZD/USD is likely to trade with a downward bias – UOB Group

The post NZD/USD is likely to trade with a downward bias – UOB Group appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is likely to consolidate in a range of 0.5870/0.5920. In the longer run, slight increase in downward momentum suggests NZD is likely to trade with a downward bias, potentially testing 0.5850, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note. Slight increase in downward momentum 24-HOUR VIEW: “In the early Asian session yesterday, when NZD was at 0.5935, we highlighted the following: ‘While NZD subsequently rose and reached a high of 0.6007, it dropped sharply from the high and continued to decline in the early Asian session today. The decline could test the support at 0.5910 before stabilising. The major support at 0.5880 is unlikely to come into view.’ We did not anticipate the rapid downward acceleration, as NZD plummeted to a low of 0.5873. The sharp drop appears excessive, but it is too soon to expect a recovery. Today, we expect NZD to consolidate, most likely in a range of 0.5870/0.5920.” 1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “After holding a positive NZD outlook for more than a week, we stated yesterday (18 Sep, spot at 0.5935) that ‘the outlook for NZD is no longer positive, but neutral.’ We also indicated that ‘for the time being, we expect NZD to trade in a range between 0.5880 and 0.5980.’ We did not expect the subsequent sharp drop in NZD which dropped below 0.5880 (low was 0.5873). Downward momentum is increasing, but not significantly. From here, NZD is likely to trade with a downward bias, potentially testing the 0.5850 level. On the upside, if NZD breaks above 0.5945, it would indicate that the current downward pressure has eased.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/nzd-usd-is-likely-to-trade-with-a-downward-bias-uob-group-202509191132
